The Second Annual Alaska Homestead Expo

Vendors, workshops, and speakers for homesteading subjects including raising and butchering livestock, starting a homestead business, raising your own food sustainably, canning, cooking with whole foods, gardening, holistic living, herbalism, and so much more!

If you have any interest in learning traditional skills like raising and butchering livestock, food preservation, making and using natural fibers, living off-grid, feeding your family from your own garden or orchard, herbalism and natural living, or more - join us at the Alaska Homestead Expo.

If you want to dive deep into pig or chicken butchering and processing, we've got you covered! Back by popular demand, Andy from Hand Hewn Farm will be here to teach you how to use and process everything but the squeal, including salt curing, smoke curing, and dry curing. Go beyond ham and bacon to utilize and feed your family a full variety foods from your pig. Not only will they be talking about processing pigs but they will also go into detail about other livestock and even wild game. There's a TON to learn here!

If you aren't interested in animal processing, no problem! We've got something for everyone!

We have more than 30 workshops for adults and there's a kids track (Kids ages 5-12) and a youth track (kids ages 12 and up) so the whole family can learn and have fun the entire weekend!

Tickets are $85/per person (earlybird sale through January 26) and $99 for regular price and kids tickets (limited number) are $25 if they plan to attend the kids/youth classes.

Your ticket covers the entire expo so spend all three days there if you want to! Attend as many workshops as you want to. One ticket gives you admittance for the entire weekend. (Price excludes food truck and vendor purchases)

Schedule:

10 AM - Noon
Live Bluegrass Gospel Music & Message from Joel Salatin

Noon - 2 pm
Joel Salatin:
Wealth Without Money
The number one deathbed confession is “I wish I’d had the courage to do what I really wanted to do.” What keeps us from doing what’s in our hearts, our dreams?

2-4 pm
Square Dancing Lessons for the Whole Family

Learn to square dance as a family! The lessons are free and will end with a bit of time square dancing. This is such a fun way to end the weekend - learn a new skill as a family!

2-4 pm
Joel Salatin:
Building Community Through Farm Clusters And The Apprenticeship Program
Perhaps the most detrimental ideas embraced by farmers is “I want to do it myself” and “I don’t want my life complicated with people.” The better approach is collaborative food clusters, selling regionally available food but sharing customers, distribution, and infrastructure.

Note: There is no vendor hall on Sunday - Any purchases will need to be made on Friday or Saturday.
